WTF was Joe Budden talking about saying we fly high was bigger than Oh boy?

[True Sinister]

I'm looking at all the chart positions and Oh boy was clearly higher. You basically had Mariah remake it. That song practically launched Dipset to the mainstream hip hop world

In what way was we fly high bigger?

In what way was we fly high bigger?

because it was more influential outside of the rap world..

it became the ny giants anthem

Oh Boy was the biggest single on the Roc. We Fly High was viral as fukk tho.

 

[BBG]

I'm not a fan of Jimmy, but it certainly felt bigger


I prefer Oh Boy by a large margin, but Ballin had people doing commercials based on the video n shyt, white people saying "Ballin!" for anything they did that could be considered remotely successful, etc. shyt took over America for a long while breh.

Literally the only reason people outside of hip hop know who Jimmy is "oh you mean that Ballin!! guy?"

Otherwise he'd be Juelz status

Ballin was indie too.

Oh Boy is a product of Def Jam and the Roc.

The Mariah Carey remix was her working with the hottest hiphop artist at the time...which she has been doing her whole career. She was on Def Jam with Cam so it made sense for both of them.

Ballin came from lower depths are reaches higher heights. Plus, the remix was the shyt too.

Ballin was huge..NFL players was getting touchdowns & sacks & celebrating with the dance that whole year..ESPN picked it up also..Mariah hopping on the Oh Boy remix & performing it at the All Star game during MJ's last year was huge too

fukk Jim jones

with that said We Fly High was bigger than Oh Boy regardless if Oh Boy charted higher, it was a HUGE song

 

[KENNY DA COOKER]

oh boy was a hit song...but WE FLY HIGH became an anthem...and does better as far as replay value. Too bad Zoe and JoJo Capone ate well off of it too

 

[Nostalgic]

Only way I could see ''Ballin'' being a bigger hit than ''Oh Boy''
is because Ballin came during a terrible period of HipHop
sure Ballin is going to be a big hit when you released music during a time period
when rappers such as MIMS, Dem Franchise Boyz, and Soulja Boy were out.

 

[B86]

Exactly what he said...

We fly high wasn't popular just in rap. It was an anthem for so many people and organizations. Oh boy was just a ill ass track

 

[Keep_It_Hip_Hop_Fam]

'We Fly High' still gets played in clubs to this day

 

[ZEB WALTON]

BALLIN was bigger. It was THE song for a while. Remember bejng in college in nyc and every kid was "Balllllin" all day

In what way was we fly high bigger?

cause nikkas was screaming "BAALLLLLLINNNNNNNNNNNNNNN" everywhere and doing the lil jump shot dance.

Everywhere.

All the time.

 

[Uchiha God]

not that i agree with it, but it prolly feels like that to a lot of people because ballin became a cultural phenomenon
